Barbara was born on April 26, 1979 in Rapid City, SD to Richard and Janice (Fuhs) Dougherty. She moved to Canton, SD in 1983 and graduated from Canton High School in 1997. She married Chad Rozeboom on August 8, 1998. Barb was a devoted daycare provider in Canton for nearly 20 years. Her daycare children loved her and she loved them.

Barb cherished time spent with her family, especially family movie night and watching her children play sports. She enjoyed a good book, looked forward to the annual family fishing trip, and loved social activities and being around people.

We had gotten a phone call and a voicemail telling us that daycare would be closed for the next week. Thinking maybe a family member needed attention, not thinking that you’d be gone for more than a week, much less forever.. I remember telling Dilan hours before that call that you are like a second mom to my son and that he loves you so much. I was looking forward to coming over in the morning and seeing Oliver’s face light up when he sees your face and getting more phone calls telling me that he is giving you hugs and kisses. My heart goes out to family and friends missing you because I know we sure do.

Barb was the kind of person who made you feel like you’d known her forever when you’d just met. Her presence filled the room with sunshine and her smile was like a hug. We are heartbroken that her life was cut short, but grateful to have met her. To her family, your loss will always be hard, but she’ll remain in your hearts to help whenever you need her. Use her example to guide you through your lives and keep each other close, for together you will find the strength and love you need to carry on.

Chad, and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We’re all so sorry for your loss.
May God wrap all of you in the blanket of his love and peace and give your comfort and strength in this time of sorrow.
